1 Answer

George, the water inlet valve 205613 would need to be tested for 120VAC when it should be filling with hot water. If voltage is present and no water comes through, the valve has failed and would need to be replaced.

R.J., you will want to check to see if the level sensor hose WP22001619 is clear and that the connection to the tub and level sensor is air tight. From there, you will want to check the voltage being supplied to the water valve 205613 from the pressure switch [207364] and then from the timer [207379] to the pressure switch. Unfortunately if the pressure switch or the timer have failed, they have been discontinued by the manufacturer and are no longer available.

Corey, First verify the water pressure to the faucets, pressure that's too high 120 psi+, or low 20 psi -, the valve(s) could seep and drip water into the tub when the machine is off. Your washer has two (2) fill valves and four(4) solenoids W11168740 and W11168743 and you'll need to determine which valve is "seeping" or replace both valves or the assembly.
